8 Best Drugstore Sunscreens

[Aprill]

Banana Boat Sport SPF 15, $8

Nongreasy and lightweight, this was definitely effective. “I missed a spot,†reported one tester, “as evidenced by my new red splotch.â€

Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist SPF 30, $9.50

Testers from Florida to California unanimously endorsed this fast-absorbing, temperature-beating spray.

Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Gel SPF 30, $10

Light on the skin but long-lasting, “it felt weightless†yet “managed to provide all-day protection.â€

Banana Boat Sport SPF 30, $8

This oil-free, waterproof stick stayed on, even when a tester forgot to reapply it after swimming. “I didn’t get a spot of color,†she said.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 55, $9.50

With a nearly imperceptible feel, a subtle fragrance, and a matte finish, “this lives up to its ‘Ultra Sheer’ name.

Coppertone Ultraguard QuickCover Lotion Spray SPF 50, $10

“Rich and creamy,†this tropical-scented sunscreen was absorbed easily.

Bull Frog Quik Gel SPF 36, $9

With a formula that is “not the least bit sticky†and a “refreshingly citrus scent,†this broad-spectrum, waterproof sunscreen “dried virtually on contact.â€

Hawaiian Tropic Ozone Oil Free SPF 50+, $6

Testers loved the versatility of this aloe-enriched stick, using it all over or on easy-to-burn areas, like lips and eyelids.

i use neutrogena 30 for sensitive skin, i like because its a physical block, so you don't have to wait 15-30 minutes for it to work. : )

SPF 70??? WoW!

I have the Banana Boat Sport one (1st one) and it works really good. Just don't put it on your face if you have any kind of moisturizer on already, it made it all flaky on my face, yuck.

I love the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen. My daughter got a sample from the dermatologist. The derm said it was the best for blocking UVA and UVB rays. It worked well on her sensitive skin so I decided to try it. Now my whole family uses it. It is fabulous! Most sunscreens make me greasy on my face. Not this one! I highly recommend it.

I think I'm going to take the suggestion to get the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer. Thanks ladies.
